threaten to call Channel 4 Dispatches (and settel out of court ) The threat of the Press can often do far more to prusuade than the threat of the authorities.

Not an entirely frivolous suggestion.
The Police et al need evidence that will stand up in court. As G4S discovered TV and public opinon don't need the same standard of evidence as a Court and can have a far greater effect on the business.

Quite a few care homes have been closed suddenly in my county after investigations following incident like this
the owners are very good at spending the money on their affluent lifestyles
and care providers are even worse for it

Home office for immigration straight away. CQC as already said. HSE as well, manager needs a shake as do the owners. Is it nursing or residential. If nursing complain to the clinical commissioning group who are buying beds in that home. If residential speak to the local authority who will be buying beds in that home.

I would say it is turning ugly but the behaviour of the prat owner is so stupid that her lawyer burst out laughing when she forwarded an email formally dismissing her today for "gross misconduct" which was...
her calling the Police to report an assault without his prior authorisation because it involved an physical attack by a resident.

That would of course be the resident who according to him had never assaulted her in the first place.

There followed baseless accusations, wibble about some other possible acts of unspecified misconduct, half baked threats of legal action and rounded it off with deeply unwise references to "false and inflated" expenses claims together with a demand for repayment in full of the various claims attached and threats to report her to Police for theft.

Unfortunate then that all of the expense claims were actually made by her predecessor.
